Q.

How do we find a discount conveyancing quote?

A.

Many online and high street solicitors offer theoretically cheap conveyancing, but additional costs are often hiding in the small print that sellers and buyers often do not check. Your conveyancing quote should also state costs to be paid to third parties, including search providers, (disbursments).Our quotes clearly state all legal fees for a standard conveyancing transaction.

Q.

Please address how to hold off paying out for SDLT rates?

A.

We do not recommend any stamp duty scheme. Such schemes are often uneconomical and , if the scheme fails, you may be charged a penalty of up to 100% of the stamp duty amount owed.

Q.

How can we protect ourselves from being gazumped?

A.

The practice of rejecting a previously accepted offer after a new buyer makes a more attractive offer is called gazumping. Because acceptance of an offer is not binding on the seller until exchange of contracts, there is a chance of being gazumped. Instructing a fast, efficient solicitor early, and even before acceptance of an offer should help to mitigate this risk.

Q.

Will my property legal fees hide any hidden charges?

A.

Our solicitors never hide any extra, hidden fees whatsoever. Be aware that some websites offer unrealistically low 'quotes' which are in fact estimates. You may face a much greater total fee when you have completed.

Q.

Do you recommend your solicitors to get involved in property auction conveyancing in Wednesfield?

A.

Our recommended conveyancing solicitors commonly get instructed by auction buyers and sellers. We often recommend purchasers to select a residential solicitor prior to the actual auction for a full investigation of the legal papers. Following the auction day arrives, the lawyer needs to be fully prepared to complete the transaction within 28 days after exchange as usually required by the standard auction conditions.

Q.

To complete on our purchase ASAP, can we guarantee fast conveyancing?

A.

The key to a faster move is to instruct a proactive lawyer. When choosing a lawyer, consider these questions: Was there a delay delivering a quote? What methods of communication do they use? Posting documents can adds days of waiting to a purchase. Will they work on a 'no sale, no fee' basis?

Q.

Would arranging a Homebuyer Report be a good idea when buying any property in Wednesfield?

A.

We strongly advise that most Wednesfield buyers arrange a house surveyor to carry out a survey. Buyers should be aware that there are many defects that will impact a property, which a conveyancing solicitor will not report on. These include dry rot or roof spread.

Q.

I am buying a investment property in a conservation area in Wednesfield. How do we uncover information on the standard of upkeep of the conservation area?

A.

Conservation areas in Wednesfield are nominated by the local authority (Wolverhampton) who regulate everything from the historic layout of roads to the hindrance of new developments. English Heritage, a government body, have put together a list in relation to the state of repair of conservation areas along with the vulnerability to standards slipping.
